A Brief Update on the Lion Program

Lions work toward their Lion badges. Although participation with an adult partner is required for all Lion awards, recognition items are for the Scouts only. To earn the Lion badge of rank, a Cub Scout must complete the following requirements, working with an adult partner:

1. Complete the five required adventures:

Lion’s Honor

Animal Kingdom

Fun on the Run!

King of the Jungle

Mountain Lion

2. With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the pamphletHow to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide.

Outside of the requirements, Lions can also complete any number of seven elective adventures of their den’s or family’s choosing.

Some of the highlights of the Lion den:

The leader for the Lion den is called “den leader” as leaders of other Cub Scout dens are called.

Adventure loops for each adventure are awarded in the Lion den.

The Lion Kit, uniforms, Den Leader Guide, which resembles the youth handbook, and tools for families to use to keep advancement records which will include rank pocket cards and advancement charts, will be available in July.

Packs may now include dens of girls and dens of boys. Note that the dens will consist of only one gender. Additionally, chartered organizations may elect to form an all-girl pack as well. For the best experience for the youth and families, it is suggested to make sure the dens have 6-8 youth making sure the Cub Scout receives the best Cub Scouting experience.
